I have a rather complicated automation that will turn on the light at the living room at night and turn it off 1 minute later.
The reason for this automation is that we have to pass the living room at night to get to the toilet. Since our 2 cats also live in the living room, I couldn’t just place a motion sensor there, because they would turn on the light all the time. Instead, I have a motion sensor in a room that we always pass to get to the living room and a door sensor on the living room door.
The automation looks like this:
- alias: Hoeklamp aan bij nacht
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.deursensortrap_sensor
to: 'on'
condition:
condition: and
conditions:
#only trigger when it's dark outside
- condition: numeric_state
entity_id: sensor.aeonlabslichtsensor_luminance
below: 100
#only trigger when the living room light isn't on already
- condition: state
entity_id: light.dimmer_woonkamer_20
state: 'off'
#only trigger when the light in the other room has been triggered already
- condition: state
entity_id: switch.lampentrapoverloop_switch
state: 'on'
action:
service: script.woonkamer_aan_bij_nacht
The script then looks like this:
woonkamer_aan_bij_nacht:
sequence:
- service: homeassistant.turn_on
entity_id: light.dimmer_woonkamer_20
data:
brightness: 110
- delay:
minutes: 1
- service: homeassistant.turn_off
entity_id: light.dimmer_woonkamer_20
It works like a charm, but I ran into 1 problem:
When I go to the living room early in the morning or at night (Which I guess I have to do quite a lot, since our newborn arrived this week 
) the light goes off after 1 minute.
I am now looking for a solution for that problem, while still keeping the “toilet time” functionality working. I was thinking about hanging a motion sensor in the kitchen area so that I could still switch the light off after 1 minute, but only if there is no movement in the kitchen area. If there is, I want to switch it off when there is no movement anymore.
I am a bit unsure how I should script this. I think the best would be to keep it all in one automation, any idea how I could do this?
